There is no gear for 4.30s.
You are stuck using the 23 tooth one made for 4.10s.
Do not buy the white gear that's advertised everywhere.
Buy the black gear form mustangs unlimited part no: DFM17271J 01
OR use speedcal to calibrate the speedo. I don't know if it works ok with the 1st gen cars though.

I've read that the 23 tooth speedo gears are more likely to have their teeth strip over time than gears with fewer teeth. Perhaps the speed-cal would be better if you can confirm that it willl work with your car.

This is exactly why you buy the black 23 tooth from the place I listed.
It's the modified version of the typical white 23t gear and is a lot better designed.
And yes speedcal would be a better choice if useable.
